I - I, I FOUNDED IN LONDON IN 1796 FINE AKI' AUCTIONEERS AND APPRAISERS 525 East 72nd Street, NS: 10021 y"(""' '" APRIL 6, 1981 the increasing Soviet naval buildup in the north Pacific, and the dispatch of some twelve thousand Soviet troops to the so-called Northern T errito- ries-four small islands of the Kuril chain, which the Russians had seized during the Second World War and have consistently refused to return. All these things, together with the revolution in Iran and the contin- ued volatile situation in the Middle East, brought the voters back to the L.D.P., as the "safest" party to lead the country in a time of world in- stability. '>t ALTHOUGH the compass held .n steady and the traditionally con- servative ship stayed on course, it is by no means clear whether the revIvified L.D.P.-now likely to remain unchal- lenged until the mid-eighties-will be able to guide Japan on a bolder and more ad venturesome course, as its leaders promised during the campaign. Of the many perplexing matters that lie ahead, the issue of Japanese self- defense-or, in a larger perspective, of Japan's strengthening its security role in the northern Pacific-epitomizes the conflict between pure self-interest and broader interests, embracing the country's relations with its friends and allies, particularly the United States. In the past two years, during which the Japanese have come steadily closer to accepting the necessity of improving their national defense structure, they have finally admitted the fact that they have been enjoying a free ride ever since the war by depending upon the Americans to protect them while they concentrated on marchIng ahead eco- nomically. But it takes the Japanese a long time not only to reach decisions but to act on them; and, quite apart and aside from the question of money, which they have in abundance but worry about as much as nations that have less, the defense question has deep psychological implications, reflecting something more than the country's fervent feelings of pacifism. According to Masao Kunihiro, a cultural and social anthropologist I have known for some years, the rejection of militarism at the end of the war was tied to an appraisal of death as something "un- clean and lugubrious." Until the sixth century, when Buddhism made its ap- pearance, there had been no theology and no philosophy of life and death, and death had not been dealt with as a rational phenomenon. Over the ensu- ing centuries, however, a variety of rituals, called miso gi, such as bathing
